Forget about the CRC checksum. It is cruft from old days when mail
gateways garbled messages and PGP did not want to trouble the user with
a passphrase dialog. If the checksum fails the actual crypto integrity
checks will bet triggered anyway. In particular with gpg which does
stream processing and won't see the CRC before it has parsed the crypto
stuff.
